Detailed explanation-1: -Megawatts are used to measure the output of a power plant or the amount of electricity required by an entire city. One megawatt (MW) = 1, 000 kilowatts = 1, 000, 000 watts. For example, a typical coal plant is about 600 MW in size.
Detailed explanation-2: -1 MWh of energy is equivalent to 1, 000 kWh of energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -1 megawatt (MW) = 1, 000 kilowatts (kW)
Detailed explanation-4: -Remember that one kilowatt equals 1, 000 watts, so don’t forget to divide your wattage by 1, 000 to convert to kilowatts. Let’s use a 1500W dishwasher you use for two hours per day as an example for calculating kW and kWh on a monthly basis: Divide the wattage by 1, 000 to calculate kW: 1500 watts 1, 000 = 1.5 kW.
Detailed explanation-5: -To convert a megawatt-hour measurement to a kilowatt-hour measurement, multiply the energy by the conversion ratio. The energy in kilowatt-hours is equal to the megawatt-hours multiplied by 1, 000. 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) = 1000 kilowatt hours (kWh).
